All about optics
The CL Companion 10x30 reveals an impressive world of detail — ideal for observing shy or distant wildlife. Its powerful magnification, brilliant image quality, and compact design make it the perfect tool for demanding nature enthusiasts. When precision matters, it brings you closer to the moments that truly count. See what you came to see.
Objective lens diameterThe objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.
MagnificationThe magnification specifies the factor by which an object appears to be closer in comparison with the actual distance. The higher the magnification, the closer the object seems to be. However, a higher magnification also means a smaller field of view. Check the precise product name as the number in front of the ‘x’ specifies the magnification. For example, 10x42 is a device with 10x magnification.
Field of viewThe field of view describes the size of the image section that can be seen through the optics. This is specified either in meters (width) at a distance of 1000 meters (m/1000m), or feet (width) at a distance of 1000 yards (ft/1000 yds), or as an angle (degrees). The higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view.
Binoculars have a large field of view, which means you can see a wide area. Spotting scopes have a higher magnification, which makes the field of view much smaller, but you can see more detail.
Objective lens diameterThe objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.
Shortest focusing distanceThe shortest focusing distance specifies how close an object needs to be to see it clearly with the optics. Between this value and infinity, it is possible to focus the image.
Bring the distance closer
The CL Companion 10x30 is made for those who want to capture as many details as possible during their adventures — from the plumage pattern of a roadrunner or penguin to the fur texture of a lion or the behavior of elusive animals in the distance.
Detail performance for demanding moments
With its impressive magnification, the 10x30 brings distant subjects noticeably closer. Ideal for open landscapes, wide plains, and situations where fine details make all the difference.
Intuition meets lightness
Long range at a low weight: the CL Companion 10x30 is lightweight, easy to handle, and ideal for long tours and nature observation.
When closeness matters
If you want to see as much as possible and focus on the finer points along the way, the 10x30 is the companion you can rely on.
